Lake Richmond Roam - Stop One Rockingham, Western Australia, Australia
By KrabiBoy on 20-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39EW9

Decided it was time to focus my maintenance efforts on a few good caches rather than lots of average caches. The Lake Richmond series has had a good run, but all good things must come to an end. Container will be removed

TFTC! Out for a few quick finds with Jackyboy27 on a beautiful spring day in Rocky Nice camo!

Nice camo find with sazpazza
TFTC

A lovely springs day out claiming a few smilies TFTC

Awesome camo

Yeh nah im crap

Nice hide! TFTC that makes my 30th find

Found while up in Rocky, Taking Midnight to meet some of her Sisters. Tftc.

Found this one quickly, sneaky hide. Found with Yvetteoh. TFTC Krabiboy!

Sneaky sneaky. Great hide though!

Quick find, but very clever

Actually this was the last find of the day. Nice one! Thanks

Cool. First one I’ve seen of this kind. Love it. Thanks

Having spent the morning walking around Point Peron followed by lunch, we then came on to do this circular walk. The view and birdlife were amazing but we had 4 DNFs and 5 finds - not a good ratio.

I have no idea how to solve the bonus puzzle as I didn't see one alpha value on any of our finds (including this one).

Didn't fool me! Quick find but needed help getting it. TFTC

This one took a fair bit of looking before I spotted something slightly out of place. Clever camo! TFTC.

Very easy as have done ones like this before TFTC

Tftc

So obvious yet so well hidden. Tftc

A few hours in the afternoon to kill and the weather was perfect for walking, so I decided to do the trek around Lake Richmond. All caches were found relatively easily, except for Number Seven which continues to be elusive. Loved the variety of containers and I so glad that I made the visit today. TFTC KrabiBoy

Really good hide

Cool cache. Blends in well. Nice bit of info too on snakes and what not. Tftc

Looked in all the gazebos up top and down low only thing I found was spiders and bugs. Either missing or were really blind. both of us are 6ft plus

Yay found within minutes thanks to the comments. Tftc.

Not fair for short people!

Out for a day of caching with Patrol14 around Rockingham before heading back to the east coast tomorrow. Weather stayed mostly dry. Thanks to all the COs for placing their caches around the Rockingham area.

A nice walk around the lake in the morning. TFTC

A nice walk around the lake in the morning. TFTC

After attending the WAGB2017 event, we went in search of more caches in and around Rockingham.
Hubby had searched for this one yesterday but couldn't locate it.
We re-visited this one and with a bit of acrobatics, found this one finally.
Logbook signed and cache returned to its hide.
Great to be able to turn this one into a smiley.

TFTC KrabiBoy. Found on 10 September 2017.

Found whilst in Rockingham at the WAGB event with Spatial Riq.

Many thanks.

Cheers

MCFonz

Thankyou

Quick grab while out with McFonz while at the WA Goes Big event. TFTC

First find of the series for us. TFTC

No sign of it near GZ. Will see if I can get some clues.

Sure do need to be over 5ft TFTC

A long reach was definitely required for this one. TFTC

Awesome thanks

Thanks

Easy find as other catchers already there.

Find 19 of 31 with 2 DNFs on a bike ride around Rocko as part of WAGB2017. An excellent day out and a well-organised event.

Perfect day for a lap o' the lake. This one was maybe the trickiest of the series. TFTC KrabiBoy

Thanks for the hide. Out enjoying the sun and finding a few caches around Rockingham during the WAGB event. Made over double digits between attending sessions and socialising so happy with our efforts. Always good to explore new ground.

Cool cache.

A weekend away with SEMIK and Phoenix Flare so we could attend WA Goes Big 2017, and what an amazing weekend we had. The location was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed many of the quality caches that had been placed in the immediate area!

Having wandered down the coastline for a bit, we opted to walk the Lake Richmond circle. Again, some amazing views were enjoyed by the team, and a mostly successful hunt.

This was find number 10 of 23 for the day for me. TFTC KrabiBoy!

Was proud to represent SA with RideTheGeoWalrus and SEMIK during WAGB with beautiful sunny weather keeping us going.

TFTC

After much pain and anguish and wishing we had a tall person with us, we got it.
Log #1 for WAGB17 weekend

Very difficult retrieve but got there in the end tks to reversion to old technology. All good.

Day Six of our holiday in Western Oz..
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent our day in Rockingham walking around doing some very scenic caches. Lake Richmond in the morning, and Point Peron after lunch.
We had loop the lake once already and back to where we started, but with some new logs we can see this one has shifted.
A quick find as this is a hide container I have used quite a bit.
Nice location though.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12589. Day 6 of our WA holiday - Our first full day in Rockingham. After gathering some supplies we took the geo-chariot to Lake Richmond and walked the walk. After lunch we went to Cape Peron where we admired the scenery and gathered up a few more caches. Not a wholly successful day, having 5 DNF's, however I added a smilie to a 2002 cache and we found a couple of ammo tin hides and I discovered a painted rock.

No wonder we couldn't find #1 where we searched first. Doh! We must pay more attention. Fortunately Rob has a decent reach and he put his paw on it amost immediately. Added our names to the nice clean log sheet and now we are off to search once more for #4.

Thanks KrabiBoy

TFTC! It was a bit wet. We didn't have a pencil.

A beautiful day to walk the dogs so brought everyone down to perform maintenance on this series. Moved the cache a bit here to replace with much better camo.

Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 16.912 E 115° 42.726

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 16.921 E 115° 42.691

Distance from original: 188.2 feet or 57.4 meters.

Moving to allow better camo.

A bit soggy . Tftc

Nice quick find. Unfortunately due to all the recent wet weather the cache was full of water & the log book was soaked! We've dried out a best we can. Tftc

Nice and easy







TFTC

Driven past so many times but not ever stopped to take in the view! TFTC!

Easy find, only one place to look

Found it with ease

Nice walk in lovely surroundings on a beautiful sunny day. The smell of prawn bait and seaweed was actually coming off us not the water but the muggles didn't know that!!

Another nice quick find here:)

Will be back soon to complete the series thanks KrabiBoy.

Great easy find for kids! TFTH

Nice Easy find TFTC

Had a few of this series on watch as they were missing the last time I was here at the start of the year. Knew they had been replaced ages ago but the chance to have another look has taken until almost the end of the year to come round again..! Being back down the beach house for a few days pre-Christmas was a perfect time for another leisurely stroll around the lovely lake, and well worth the wait. Made a quick find here in the obvious place. Not quite the container I was expecting but I'll never complain about an easy find Great to pick up another bonus number too TFTC

After trying this series before saw that the last couple I needed had been put back in place, quick find here as I have been to the spot a couple of times before, TFTC.

Out with cj_252 to come back and make the few finds we didn't find last time. I was looking at the phone and he made the quick find

A quick find and I'm working out the coordinates to the final! TFTC

Out on a maintenance day around the lake, stopped here and replaced the container and the code. This one is good to go again.

Will need to get out to this one, has obviously gone walkabouts.
